Religion
Mark 6:20: The wicked may, through pride affect
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The wicked may, through pride affect
The good and righteous to respect,
While yet they no disturbance give,
And let them in their passions live.
But if a zealous preacher rise
And contradict their bosom-vice,
Vengeance his old admirers breathe,
And hurry him to bonds and death.
